TCU Frogs on last leg of quest for top

The TCU Horned Frogs baseball team departed Thursday morning for the College World Series in Omaha, Neb., the final destination of a remarkable season. TCU opens the eight-team, double-elimination tournament Sunday at 2 p.m. against Texas Tech on ESPN2.

Texas (43-19) is also in the tournament, making the Big 12, and the Lone Star State, responsible for nearly half the field. The Frogs’ only other College World Series visit was in 2010 when they were eliminated after five games.
